>Tesla is able to build the safest and best-performing cars Am I out of date with the news? Are Tesla the safest cars? I am not a car enthusiast so I recall that Volvo has most safety features, did things change or is Tesla PR so deluded, at least I would use something like "one of the safest cars", provide some modesty,

Tesla's are inherently very safe because they have such a large frontal crumple zone with no engine and the floor is a solid battery which helps with side collisions. https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/04/watch-how-tesla-model-3-earned-its-5-star-safety-rating-from-euro-ncap/ https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/04/watch-how-tesla-model-3-ea...

  Are the safest though? I know that there are ICE cars witht eh engine at the back, and there are cars that are very safe in crash tests. So your answer is not responding at my questions, I know there are probably cars that are for sure less safe then Tesla

    Go to the ncap website and find out, then... That is if you're really interested by it

  The link does not contain rankings, but I did some searching, on the European system in fact Tesla is one of the safes ts car. the "safest car" thing appears if you Google related with the american system in a lot of EV related articles around 2911, I can't find anything more recent and more impartial on the first google page.

I guess “the car slamming itself into highway barriers” is the bar for safety nowadays.

  The Tesla fans will tell you that he used the car wrong, and in a way they are correct , the fact that the driver did not survived in those Tesla crashes is not good though.

Yes, and to be honest, insanely out of date. I'm not telling you Teslas are the safest car on the planet, just that the "Volvo = safe" is, I don't know, maybe an early 80s mentality? It ignores decades of changes and infinite nuance into how cars are tested and evaluated for safety. There are all kinds of measures under which a car's safety can be evaluated, and to boil it down to "Volvo has the most safety features" is far sillier than even Tesla touting themselves as the safest cars. (Teslas do fare very well in current crash tests, though).

  Yes, I did some research now, I am not a car person and indeed Tesla is one of the safest though I can say if is indeed the safest car(are the other companies probably saying their car is the safest?)
